The redtail boa displays beautiful coloration with patterned brown or reddish brown "saddles" that become more pronounced towards the tail. The coloring works as effective camouflage in the jungles and forests of its natural habitat.

The Scimitar-Horned Oryx are magnificent animals in the antelope family that get their names from their elegant horns that curve backwards like a scimitar sword and can grow over 1 metre long. Both the males and females have horns.
